About this work

The drawing shows a group of five Chinese figures. This work is interesting because it gives us a glimpse into how people from other cultures were seen and depicted during the Romanticism period. The fact that it's a drawing, not a painting, also makes it stand out. You can learn more about this style by looking into the movement: Romanticism.
